Making Cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (Part 3)

paddingtondoo

Having trouble keeping up today - you keep shooting off on tangents .
Congratulations bunbun - your parcel has arrived and the swing card is lovely - have left everything else unopened for now .

Never ordered nesties from the states - I usually get mine from this ebay seller but managed to get labels 1 for £15 delivered as I have saved an ebay search so it emails me new items daily .

List of exhibitors for stamp magic here. Craftwork cards stall is usually about 1/4 the size of the one they had at Harrogate so don't get too excited - was very squished last year (didn't go in June can't remember why)

Didn't get a PM from you nannyboo so have pm'd you so you can just reply

Have forgotten who was going to get rid of their stamps but what sort of problems are you having? I usually use the back of a mousemat to stamp on and always hold the block in both hands - give me a shout if I can help - don't start colouring images or you'll get a promarker addiction :rotfl:. padster towers is still a magnolia free zone although I have now got a few sugar nellies in addition to all my furry friends.

Have the day off tomorrow - 2nd physio appointment then am nipping to different £1 shop to get some foam tape - have plenty of foam pads but am getting lazy with the bigger layers . DD also wants to go to school as Dorothy on Friday for World Book Day - gingham dress anyone? :rolleyes:

Loads more posts while I was composing mine .

I've never made a halloween card but freebie here and there was a kitty on pollycraft as a freebie Friday a while back.

I would lend you my dishwasher Rusty but I'm a bit busy at the moment and I'd just have to come back to my own :rotfl:.

Rusty it was my toe, moving the old furniture out of the bedroom I stubbed it and lifted the nail half off. I didn't swear much... honest.... ooo it did hurt. Its not that long ago I fell over in Poundland and caught my toe in a wire basket someone had left on the floor! had to walk round Meadowhall with my toes bleeding!

Poor you!! Dishwasher broken :eek::eek: i hate washing up too. I'd rather the telly broke!! Your luck has definately got to change. Life is a so and so at times, you cruise along nicely then wallop everything at once and usually when money is tight. Talk about kick a man when hes down :mad: At least its nothing life threatening xx

For the gingham dress get a blue gingham school dress and chop off the sleves and a bit round the chest to make it look like a dorothy dress

Padster love the halloween link, might make that for my mother, OH usually asks her if shes dusted her broomstick ready for halloween. Last year we bought a plant in Morrisons with a witch on a stick, he asked her if she had done the modelling lol

They were at Harrogate and prices were the same as on the website - did have the 4 for £60 there though.

Thanks for the idea about the dress Rusty - shame I sold her summer dresses on eBay a few weeks ago as she wouldn't wear them :mad: Some kid was teasing her that her legs were hairy not that she ever wore them before that :rolleyes:

LOL at flourgirl - DD's dad called his new wife the wicked stepmother when I picked her up a couple of weeks ago - was speechless for once :c))
